[quote=Anonymous]I was taught along the lines that stockings are "a women's garment, typically made of translucent nylon or silk, that fits closely over the foot and is held up by garters or an elasticized strip at the upper thigh." They end at the thigh. "Tights" and "pantyhose" have the part that goes over the buttocks to hold them up. I think of tights as being a denser material, and often not in skin-toned color, whereas pantyhose are usually lighter and in skin tones. I think that's an American perspective, though; my friends from England don't make that distinction for "tights." "Hosiery" encompasses all of the above. I suppose "hose" is a shortening of "pantyhose." I don't use it, but I generally understand it as a term when in appropriate context.[/quote]
